"Last month's meeting was cancelled but we're on for this month!

Wednesday 7th October at Seaforth Oval clubhouse at 7:30pm.

The Mayor and other councillors will be attending and we need riders (and their families) to attend to show them that we still want a dirt jump/pump track facility in seaforth.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Cheers, Dave"

For all those wondering what this is about, This is regarding a dirt jump park that had been expertly built by Dave and others in seaforth over the course of many years. These became so famous that they even had competitions at the site and had been featured in magazines!
Recently the council demolished the entire dirt jump park, with zero consultation of the users and zero notice.
As far as i understand, most of the council now agree they made a mistake, and are meeting in seaforth this week to work with the user group.
In my opinion, bikers of all diciplines should attend, to show the council we are a large user group, and regardless of our biking dicipline, we must be well catered for.

I'll try to get down to this.

The more people the better!

Who else is going to try to be there to show support for bikers?

Meeting is on tonight! We need numbers to show the Council that we're still keen. We had over 50 people at the first meeting and we need to keep on pushing.

Things are happening already including surveys, environmental studies etc but if we don't show them we're still keen they can easily move it to the back of the priority list.

See you there!

Dave

To all those going, please report back and let us know how the meeting turns out.
